A large law enforcement presence has been reported in an Odessa neighborhood Thursday afternoon.

According to a CBS 7 reporter on scene, the presence is located near the intersection of Copus Avenue and Alameda Avenue.

Officers with the Odessa Police Department, Ector County Sheriff's Office, and DPS all appear to be on scene and the street is being blocked off.

An armored vehicle and a drone are being used by law enforcement.

A homeowner who tells CBS 7 she is not currently able to return to her home states that law enforcement showed neighbors a photo of a man and asked if they had seen a suspect, stating that he is very dangerous.

That has not been confirmed by officials at this time.

It is not clear if this is connected to the search for a suspect involved in a drive-by shooting and chase in West Odessa earlier today.
